but besides which, that's the wrong place to look for his actual question
anyways.
pkg-get doesnt technicall install any packages, or konw anything about
location of files.
pkg-get calls the system level tool pkgadd.

documentaion on that is also semi useless to anser the question of 
"what files are in a package", though :)

for one of OUR packages, easiest thing is to use
http://www.opencsw.org/search

for other installed packages, grep through /var/sadm/install/contents
